We consider universal variable-to-fixed length compression of memoryless sources with a fidelity criterion. We design a dictionary codebook over the reproduction alphabet which is used to parse the source stream. Once a source subsequence…
We initiate the study of what we term ``fast good codes'' with ``fast good duals.'' Specifically, we consider the task of constructing a rate 1/2 binary linear code such that both it and its dual are asymptotically good (in fact, have…
In this paper, we consider the problem of constructing optimal average-length binary codes under the constraint that each codeword must contain at most $D$ ones, where $D$ is a given input parameter. We provide an $O(n^2D)$-time complexity…
A majority of coded matrix-matrix computation literature has broadly focused in two directions: matrix partitioning for computing a single computation task and batch processing of multiple distinct computation tasks. While these works…
Distribution matching transforms independent and Bernoulli(1/2) distributed input bits into a sequence of output symbols with a desired distribution. Fixed-to-fixed length, invertible, and low complexity encoders and decoders based on…
We define multi-block interleaved codes as codes that allow reading information from either a small sub-block or from a larger full block. The former offers faster access, while the latter provides better reliability. We specify the…
Divisibility sequences are defined by the property that their elements divide each other whenever their indices do. The divisibility sequences that also satisfy a linear recurrence, like the Fibonacci numbers, are generated by polynomials…
Non-uniquely decodable codes can be defined as the codes that cannot be uniquely decoded without additional disambiguation information. These are mainly the class of non-prefix-free codes, where a codeword can be a prefix of other(s), and…
Previous work by the authors on parity-preserving fixed-length constrained encoders is extended to the variable-length case. Parity-preserving variable-length encoders are formally defined, and, to this end, Kraft conditions are developed…
In this paper, we introduce a new way of constructing and decoding multipermutation codes. Multipermutations are permutations of a multiset that generally consist of duplicate entries. We first introduce a class of binary matrices called…
Consider two remote nodes (encoder and decoder), each with a binary sequence. The encoder's sequence $X$ differs from the decoder's sequence $Y$ by a small number of edits (deletions and insertions). The goal is to construct a message $M$,…
Bi-modal (respectively, multi-modal) constrained coding refers to an encoding model whereby a user input block can be mapped to two (respectively, multiple) codewords. In current storage applications, such as optical disks, multi-modal…
In this paper we consider lossless source coding for a class of sources specified by the total variational distance ball centred at a fixed nominal probability distribution. The objective is to find a minimax average length source code,…
We propose a novel coupling technique for the design of polar codes of length N, making them decodable through a sliding window of size M < N. This feature allows to reduce the computational complexity of the decoder, an important…
We construct an encoding of finite strings over a fixed finite alphabet as natural numbers, based on a block partition of the Fibonacci sequence. Each position in the string selects one Fibonacci number from a dedicated block, with unused…
A self-dual binary linear code is called Type I code if it has singly-even codewords, i.e.~it has codewords with weight divisible by $2.$ The purpose of this paper is to investigate interesting properties of Type I codes of different…
We consider a problem in which a source is encoded into N packets, an unknown number of which are subject to adversarial errors en route to the decoder. We seek code designs for which the decoder is guaranteed to be able to reproduce the…
Permutation codes are a class of structured vector quantizers with a computationally-simple encoding procedure based on sorting the scalar components. Using a codebook comprising several permutation codes as subcodes preserves the…
In this paper, we investigate completely decomposable rank-metric codes, i.e. rank-metric codes that are the direct sum of 1-dimensional maximum rank distance codes. We study the weight distribution of such codes, characterizing codewords…
Polar codes have received growing attention in the past decade and have been selected as the coding scheme for the control channel in the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems. However, the conventional polar codes have only…
